Innovation by experience

BOGE Rubber & Plastics stands for excellence in vibration control technology and lightweight components for the automotive industry. As a longstanding partner of leading international car manufacturers, we develop innovative solutions for the markets of tomorrow.

We are passionate perfectionists – and have been since 1931. We combine the core technologies of vibration control and lightweight design to develop integrated solutions for our customers – enhancing performance, and at the same time reducing weight and costs. Thus, innovative design solutions such as lightweight pedal modules and transmission cross members have been created.

We are represented internationally with approximately 4,200 employees and ten locations in Germany, France, Slovakia, USA, Brazil, China, and Mexico. Today, we rank among the worldwide leading top three manufacturers in the field of rubber-metal technology.

For BOGE Rubber & Plastics the strategic alliance with TMT constitutes another milestone on the way to the future. TMT is the world’s leading supplier of vibration technology and polymer composite materials in the railway field. TMT in turn is part of the CRRC Group, the world’s largest manufacturer of railroad vehicles. By combining the expertise and know-how of both companies, we will further strengthen our technological leadership in close cooperation with TMT and expand our global presence.
